Scoped!

[StopMeansStop]

I just had my knee “fixed” Thursday. Here is what it looks like now, with circles showing the cuts. Wish I had this done last winter, because I missed most of the summer biking season.

I’ll let you know when I make it back into the saddle.

I’m sorry to hear about your knee. I hope you heal quickly and can get back on the bike to enjoy the fall. That’s the season, not the action.

I wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back on the roads soon.

Hope you heal up soon! I’ve had so many setbacks over the years… the one common thread with me has been that I heal MUCH faster when I do what my physical therapist tells me to do. Ask lots of questions about what you can and can’t do. I always ask the question “Can I do too much?” The answer is usually “yes” and then she explains how I should set my limits.

Rock on!!!!

I hope you heal quickly. My experience runs counter to Dirt — I heal much faster when I ignore physical therapy. (After the mandatory post-op physical therapy visit when I had my ITB replacement/bone graft/screw job on my knee, I didn’t go back.) Dirt’s right, though, find out what you can and can’t do and then learn the difference between pain and discomfort. Pain can and often does mean you’re doing too much, while discomfort just means you’re pushing yourself. Just don’t do anything stupid — that’s the “do as I say, not as I do” part.

Ouch. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Do some of your own research on recovery times/exercises. It’s rare to find medical personnel who will take the time to tell you everything you need to hear.
